My extreme challenge

Should I do my FET this cycle or not? If I postpone it, next month would be December. If unsuccessful, the Christmas holiday and Chinese New Year holidays shall postpone my schedule even further. I just dont want to get pregnant or give birth to babies in the year of the dog. Dog conflicts with dragon. I am a lady dragon. Am I very superstitious? I just wanted to avoid it. Somebody made a fortune telling on me before about birth defect in the year of the dog.

If I pursue FET this cycle that means I will miss the Canton Fair for at least three seasons. Which is more important business or babymaking? I tried to be selfish. I chose babymaking as my topmost priority. But, my greediness lures me to visit the fair. Yeah... I transit in Hong Kong. That is easy. Manila-Hong Kong- Guangzhou-Hong kong- Manila.

Last cycle,my lining was ready on day12. I usually ovulate early. Day 12 visit to my HK doctor's clinic was not a bad idea after all. My timing was heaven sent. I was bothered when my HK doctor asked me to come back in two days. My lining was not yet ready. How can that be? That means I need to reschedule my flight back to Hong kong? Or travel by land to Hong kong?  Forfeit my plane ticket? How can I be in the fair for one day only? I haggled to go back after three days. Then, I got guilty afterwards.  Would the one day delay affect my implantation success?

I was not having any mucus discharge on day 12. I got guilty of my greediness. The LH surge was still negative on day 13. I retested the LH surge in that evening. By the way, is there a flight back to Hong kong and /or Manila on my day 14? Anyway, Dr. Doo allowed me to go back to see him on my Day 15. That means he has assurance that one day delay in ovulation monitoring has no significant impact on the success rate. Since he can adjust when to put the embryo. Day 14 morning came, there was no stcky discharge yet. The LH surge was still negative. Did i drink too much water? Can too much water affects the LH kit surge result?  Then, that evening I started to see my much awaited mucus discharge. But, I forgot to test again that evening if my LH surge status.  Tomorrow is Day 15. I have a flight from Guangzhou to Hong kong. If i missed my Hong kong to manila flight, there is no more seat left even on business class and first class. What shall I do? It seems impossible to catch my plane if I am on three hour transit.  If I go back to Manila on Day16, the business class ticket one way from Hong kong to Manila is 6500 HKD cathay and  3000 HKD on Philippine airline. Crazy! Well it seems that my mistake was blessing in disguise.

Shhh... I dont know why i was so stupid? My Guangzhou hotel check out was on Nov4. But my plane ticket appears that I will be flying out Guangzhou on Nov3. I am a stingy person. What if i travel back to Guangzhou by train and flight to Manila from Guangzhou? Nice idea yeah... I get to use my excess hotel night in Guangzhou. Guangzhou to Manila flight only cost less than 800 RMB. I purchased the Guangzhou- Manila flight as an assurance. Hehe, my spare ticket just in case, I was left by our plane.

Then, Day 15 morning came, my LH kit returns a big smile. Oops, did I ovulated today or yesterday night? Will the timing have effect on the implantation success?  Luckily, our guangzhou to Hong Kong flight arrived 10 minutes early. I need to run as fast as I could. I need to be boarded on our plane within three hours. I realized that I am extremely lucky. I was one of the last passengers to board the plane back to Manila. Our flight was 15 minutes delayed. Thank you Cathay for the mini delay! Imagine that I looked much like a contestant in the Amazing Race, except that my backpack is smaller -toiletries/lingerie/ a set of outfit only. My lugguage was checkin. Thank you Hong Kong Government for the frequent visitor's e-channel.
